  4. Are there any camps that hire student nurses?

    They hired me! The director offered me the job (contingent on satisfactory references) on Friday and asked if I was ready to accept. I said I would like a couple of days which she was fine with that....

  7. Who else is starting their 2nd semester tomorrow..

    I start my second semester tomorrow as well. I'm not excited. As much as I love nursing (and I do, really!), I absolutely hate school because I'm just not the academic type...so I'm not ready for...

  9. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

  11. Spring Step Shoes?

    I ended up buying them. I haven't yet worn them for clinical yet -- those don't start for this semester til the week after next...but I did wear them around the house for a good couple of hours, and...
  12. Anatomy harder than nursing school classes?

    Compared to my first semester of nursing classes, A&P was much harder! I know I'm in the minority here...but that may have to do with the fact that when I'm applying things, they are easier for...
  13. Student working at a camp

    Here are the questions I've thought of: - What is the housing like? (Toilet, shower, electricity etc) - How is laundry done (facilities there, service etc)? - Is there phone/internet access? - What...
  14. Are there any camps that hire student nurses?

    Looks like I might be joining the ranks of camp nurses! I was called by Camp Baco, and spoke with one of the directors today...and she told me about the job etc. then said to send two references and...
  15. Are there any camps that hire student nurses?

    Oh, cool. I would much rather work at Che-Na-Wah because it's much closer to home (I'm from
  16. Are there any camps that hire student nurses?

    So...camps I've found: * Camp Baco and Che-Na-Wah (brother/sister camp in the Adirondacks) - I have already gotten a positive response from them, so they are a definite possibility. * Camp Wicosuta *...
  17. Over the summer, before starting my nursing classes in the fall, I either want to work in the hospital as an aide, or in a nursing home. There are a bunch of online classes (all accredited) that I...

    Wow, some of you have crazy expenses! My school gives each student a lab kit at orientation/during the first week of class which consists of: a drawstring bag, a (cheap) stethoscope, a BP cuff,...
  21. Dual Degree Program MSN/Public health

    Oh, I definitely plan on working before going on for my Masters. I'm not entirely sure where I want to go with public/community health as of yet (but hey, I'm 20, so I don't think I really need to!),...
  22. Just today, we were emailed our course calendar for next semester...and it made me get all excited. How lame is that? I didn't want to go back to school, and then I read the email and the calendar,...
  23. Dual Degree Program MSN/Public health

    Why's that? I'm curious because I'll have a BSN when I graduate, and I know you can do public health nursing with a BSN but that a MPH gives you a broader base in terms of public health than a
